This fun neighborhood tradition continues another year to launch Springtime in Austin’s greatest neighborhood! Bring your lawn chairs and whatever you’re thirsty for – grilled hotdogs, hamburgers and veggie burgers will be provided by the BWNA. Bryker Woods’ own Dovetail Joints will provide terrific live music, and we’ll have a hip new twist this year: Our neighbors to the north on Burnet Road, Roll On Sushi Diner (www.RollOnSushiDiner.com) are so generously providing us with a cool live sushi rolling station doing traditional and Austin fusion sushi – YUM! Helpful hints: walk, bike, scooter or skate to the party, as spots to park are limited. Be sure to leave Fifi and Fido at home as lots of Bryker Babies will be crawling about. Thank you for generously tipping the band – they make the party!

Paint the Elementary Schhol Portables - Saturday 11/19/2011 9AM

On Saturday the 19th at 9AM we have an opportunity to work together as neighbors and parent to paint the six portables at Bryker Woods Elementary. 
 
We hope give the buildings some color identity on-campus and add some beauty to the neighborhood.  Attached are copies of the three color schemes we are considering.  If you have a preference, please let us know by email to dbarcinski@aol.com .    Real paint samples are up long Kerbey Lane.  Each building will be one solid color and the Kerbey samples are just a test, not a scheme.
 
We need volunteers, brushes and ladders.  Please sign up via email to dbarcinski@aol.com if you can help.  Please list any equipment you can bring.   We will need a few early risers to show up at 8AM to help brush down the buildings in preparation for paint.
 
Thanks for your help.
